Can the cluster foundation ring be directly welded to the steel plates embedded in the civil engineering foundation?

Can the base ring for a cluster of units be welded directly to the steel plates embedded in the civil engineering foundation, without using any foot bolts?
Theoretically, it’s possible, but factors such as the tower height and diameter need to be taken into account
Why consider the tower height and diameter?
Factors such as wind load and seismic intensity must be taken into account; strictly speaking, a design assessment is required. Therefore, it’s generally fine to weld small containers directly to the embedded plates, but this is not allowed for large containers with a high height. Just think about it: how much wind force can those spot welds withstand? What will happen if the tower collapses? :lol
1. The embedment plates are welded directly to the equipment; equipment manufacturing tolerances are in millimeters, while those for civil engineering work are in centimeters. 2. The equipment has a small tower neck; if the tower is too tall, it will be blown down by the wind. The equipment is welded directly to the embedded plate, and the welding quality does not meet the standards
